I'm a bit disapointed in this years line up to be honest. Nothing really strikes me as unmissible (sure "antichrist" generated controversy for one scene but I've seen this sort of things in films before).
I'm annoyed that QT's session costs $55 for non-members and $50 for members and is not counted as part of the purchase of a passport.
The opening and closing night films don't strike me and the line up of late shift films all feature films made in 2008 and mostly are available on DVD (Martyrs is on the way from the states to my PO box as we speak).
I'm thinking on saving my money this year and investing it on a decent digital projector and screen for my home cinema and buying DVD's of the few titles I'd be interested in seeing.
Very disappointed.
There's a few titles I'm looking forward to, though I haven't collated a list yet. My experience has been that the gems are often little films by unknown directors that fly under the radar.
I didn't notice the small detail of cost to Inglourious Basterds and can't see how they can fill the Forum with people who will pay $50 or more. I suspect it's an invitation event like the Opening Night where most people there won't have paid, and the riff-raff have to pay top dollar for the privilege. I won't be paying $50 to go and I'll wait for a cinema release, which no doubt will happen.
Paul - good work on posting up this list of films - that must have taken a furious burst of typing!
I'll let you know if the Inglourious Basterds screening with QT turns out to be a schmooze fest. If it does, hopefully I'll qualify for a media ticket!
Richard, it was less work than it looks. I want to compile a list of films with a commercial release - do you have any inside info on that? I find it harder to get info from MIFF than what I used to.
Not being a doco buff, I decided to see what I was missing out on. Rough Aunties was on at awkward times at the SFF so I am hoping it will be more convenient at MIFF. The doco was shot in rural and suburban South Africa with some children's rights activists (five ladies, both black and white).
What these ladies acomplish in the weeks of filming is staggering. The changes they are bringing about in the post-apartheid rainbow nation is making the difference to the many children they help.
I found myself at first wondering when I was going to get some background to the characters and the topic but then I realised it was more intimate by my feeling my way through. I was emotionally drained and horrified by what people will do to each other but by the end the catharsis and awe were worth the ride.
Go see this, highly recommended.
As an update, watched my DVD of "Martyrs" and I must say it is one of the most amazing films I've ever seen (much less horror films). I sat transfixed by this and am now planning to see it on the big screen. Very intelligent and disturbing film, show's the world once again how well the French do horror.
Thanks for making this list....
You're welcome, Anonymous (a name or pseudonym would be nice - at least to differentiate you from other Anonymouses) and thanks for the tip. Given that Kojo are releasing Martyrs in September, it's unlikely I'll see it at MIFF. There is little good horror around, though the Japanese and Koreans turn out some good pieces (Audition anyone?).
10 Conditions of Love being shown at Cinema Nova from next week?

Also... your 'Films getting a release' link has broken.
I'm not sure what happened there, Joel, but it's now fixed. Yesterday I was updating some release dates.
